MHP first mortgage loan, subject to the provisions of Section 22 below.
BACKGROUND
A. The Grantor holds or will acquire legal title to the Property and intends to construct a 46-
unit rental housing development, consisting of two residential buildings, at the Property (the
"Project").
B As a condition of the Loan, and of the grant by CPA to North Shore Community Development
Coalition, Inc., the Grantor has agreed that this Restriction be imposed upon the Property
as a covenant running with the land and binding upon any successor to the Grantor, as
owner thereof.
RESTRICTIONS
Drr
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Grantor hereby covenants as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein are defined herein and in Exhibit D attached
hereto.
2. Use Restrictions. The Property shall be reserved and used for the Permitted Uses and for
no other purpose. The Restricted Units shall include at least 11 Studio Units, 4 one-bedroom Units,
26 two-bedroom Units and 5 three-bedroom Units. All 46 of the Restricted Units shall be deemed
to be assisted under the CPA Program and shall be affordable in perpetuity. Eleven of the Restricted
Units shall be deemed to be assisted under the HOME Program ("HOME Assisted Units") provided
that certain of the provisions of the HOME Program may cease to be effective 20 years after the
completion of the Project (the"HOME Term") as more fully set forth in Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement
between Grantor as Borrower and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts acting by and through the
Department of Housing and Community Development for itself and as agent for certain other lenders,
and the application thereafter of the restrictions herein with respect to the HOME Assisted Units shall be
deemed a local use restriction. Such HOME Assisted Units may also constitute Restricted Units with
respect to other programs hereunder. As of the date hereof, the Property has or is expected to
have the benefit of a contract for 8 project-based vouchers under Section 8 of the United States
Housing Act of 1937, as amended (the "Section 8 Contract") and the benefit of a contract for 8
project-based vouchers under the Massachusetts Housing Rental Voucher Program (the "MRVP
Contract" and together with the Section 8 Contract, the "Rental Subsidy Contracts"). If during the
HOME Term a Rental Subsidy Contract is not renewed at the end of its term or is terminated or
otherwise is no longer in full force and effect, the number of HOME Assisted Units required to be
Very Low Income Units (as set forth on Exhibit C) shall be reduced to 3 Units of the types shown
on Exhibit C-1 and the number of HOME Assisted Units required to be Low Income Units (as set
forth on Exhibit„C) shall be increased to 8 Units of the types shown on Exhibit C-1. In such event,
references in this Restriction to Exhibit C shall thereafter be deemed to refer to Exhibit C-1.
Furthermore, if during the Term a Rental Subsidy Contract is not renewed at the end of its term or is
terminated or otherwise is no longer in full force and effect, the Holders will consider a request by the
Grantor to modify the mix of Restricted Units by converting Extremely Low Income Units to Very Low
Income Units or Low Income Units. A decision by the Holders on such a request shall take into
consideration the financial viability of the Property and shall be made in the sole reasonable discretion
of the Participating Lenders who have required such Extremely Low Income Units, as shown on Exhibit
C. The Property also shall include at least three (3) Units accessible to individuals with mobility
impairments (consisting of 2 one-bedroom Units and 1 two-bedroom Unit) and at least one (1)
additional Unit accessible to individuals with sensory impairments (consisting of 1 Studio Unit).
Each Unit shall contain complete facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation that
are to be used on other than a transient basis. Each Unit shall meet the housing quality standards
set forth in the regulations of HUD at 24 C.F.R. §982.401 or any successor thereto, the accessibility
requirements at 24 C.F.R. Part 8 or any successor thereto (which implement Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973), and, if applicable, the design and construction requirements of 24 C.F.R.
§100.205 or any successor thereto (which implement the Fair Housing Act). The Restricted Units
shall be dispersed evenly throughout the buildings comprising the Improvements. The Grantor shall
at all times maintain a social service program administered by a social service provider acceptable
Mass[1 a.;
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
to the Holders. Throughout the term hereof, the Grantor shall maintain the Property and the
Improvements in good, safe and habitable condition in all respects and in full compliance with all
applicable laws, by-laws, rules and regulations of any governmental (or quasi-governmental) body
with jurisdiction over matters concerning the condition of the Property.
3. Occupancy Restrictions. The following restrictions shall apply during the period
commencing with the first date on which any Units are occupied and continuing for the balance of
the Affordability Term, subject always to any applicable rent restrictions of the federal low-income
housing tax credit program under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any provision herein that conflicts with the requirements of the federal low-income housing tax
credit program shall be suspended so long as the restrictions under the federal low income housing
tax credit program are in effect.
A. Low Income Units. At least 30 of the Units of the types shown on Exhibit C attached hereto
shall be leased exclusively to Low Income Families ("Low Income Units"). With respect to each
Low Income Unit designated as a HOME Assisted Unit, the monthly rent charged to a Family
occupying such HOME Assisted Unit shall not exceed the lesser of Fair Market Rent or an amount
equal to (x) one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty-five percent (65%) of the Bedroom
Adjusted AMI, minus (y) if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for any utilities
and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the occupying Family or (z) the comparable
market rent for the Family's Unit. With respect to each Low Income Unit that is not a HOME
Assisted Unit, the monthly rent charged to a Family occupying a Low Income Unit shall be one-
twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty percent (60%) of the Bedroom Adjusted AMI, minus (y)
if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for any utilities and services (excluding
telephone) to be paid by the occupying Family. A Family who resides in a Restricted Unit, who
qualified as a Low Income Family at the time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property
and whose Household Income exceeds sixty percent (60%), but does not exceed eighty percent
(80%) of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall continue to be treated as a Low Income Family
and the foregoing maximum rent shall continue to apply to such Family. A Family who resides
in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as a Low Income Family at the time of such Family's initial
occupancy at the Property and whose Household Income exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the
Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall, from and after the expiration of the then-current term of such
Family's lease, no longer be treated as an income-qualified Family and must pay as monthly
rent the Over-income Rent.
B. Extremely Low Income Units. At least 16 of the Units of the types shown on Exhibit. C
attached hereto shall be leased exclusively to Extremely Low Income Families ("Extremely
Low Income Units"). The monthly rent charged to a Family occupying an Extremely Low
Income Unit shall be one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of thirty percent (30%) of the
Bedroom Adjusted AMI, minus, if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for
any utilities and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the occupying Family. A Family
who resides in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as an Extremely Low Income Family at the
time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property and whose Household Income exceeds
thirty percent (30%), but does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Family-size Adjusted
AMI, shall continue to be treated as an Extremely Low Income Family but, from and after
ftn In
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
the expiration of the then-current term of such Family's lease, must pay as monthly rent
the Over-income Rent. A Family who resides in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as an
Extremely Low Income Family at the time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property
and whose Household Income exceeds fifty percent (50%), but does not exceed eighty
percent (80%), of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall, from and after the expiration of the
then-current term of such Family's lease, be treated as a Low Income Family and must pay
as monthly rent the lesser of (x) the maximum amount payable by the Family under the
laws of the municipality in which the Property is located or of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, (y) one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty percent (60%) of the
Bedroom Adjusted AMI (minus, if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for
any utilities and services [excluding telephone] to be paid by the occupying Family) A Family
who resides in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as an Extremely Low Income Family at the
time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property and whose Household Income exceeds
eighty percent (80%) of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall, from and after the expiration
of the then-current term of such Family's lease, no longer be treated as an income-qualified
Family and must pay as monthly rent the Over-income Rent.
C. HERA Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be permitted to increase the
rents to those permitted under Section 3009(a)(E)(i) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act
of 2008 (Public Law 110-289) ("HERA"), even if such rents would be above those that would
otherwise be permitted under the above provisions.
D. MHP First Mortgage Affordability Requirements. In order to satisfy the affordability
requirements of the MHP first mortgage loan at least nineteen (19) of the total Units shall be
Low Income Units.
E. Applicable Lease Term, Change of Status. References in the foregoing provisions of the
"then-current term of such Family's lease" shall refer to the term of the lease or occupancy
agreement in effect on the date of the required delivery of the income certification that
reflects (or that, if duly delivered, would have reflected) the applicable increase in such
Family's income. If, with the Holders' consent, the Grantor does not require that a lease be
signed for a Restricted Unit (e.g., a property providing short-term transitional housing), the
provisions set forth above shall apply, except that the applicable date on which a Family's
income-qualified status and/or applicable rent restriction is modified shall be the first day
of the month that is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the required delivery of
the income certification that reflects (or that, if duly delivered, would have reflected) the
applicable increase in such Family's income.
F. Federal or State Rental Subsidy. Except with respect to HOME Assisted Units, if a
Restricted Unit or the Family occupying such Unit receives federal or state rental subsidy,
then the Family's contribution towards rent shall be the contribution allowable under the
federal or state rental subsidy program and the maximum rent (i.e., tenant contribution
plus rental subsidy) shall be the rent allowable under the federal or state rental subsidy
program. In the case of HOME Assisted Units, if a Restricted Unit receives federal or state
project-based rental subsidy and the occupying Family qualifies as a Very Low Income
Family and pays as a contribution towards rent not more than thirty percent (30%) of one-
Mas h
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
twelfth of the Family's Household Income, then the maximum rent (i.e., tenant contribution
plus rental subsidy) shall be the rent allowable under the federal or state rental subsidy
program.
G. Next Available Unit Rule. If at any time fewer than the required number of Units are
leased, rented or occupied by Extremely Low Income Families, the next available Units shall
all be leased, rented or otherwise made available to Extremely Low Income Families until
the required number of Units occupied by Extremely Low Income Families is again obtained.
Subject to the foregoing, available Units shall be leased, rented or otherwise made available
to Low Income Families. The foregoing provisions shall be applied so as to maintain a mix
of Restricted Units that is comparable in size, features and number of bedrooms to the
originally designated Restricted Units (i.e., a Unit will not be considered an available Unit
for purposes of this Paragraph if classification of such Unit as a Restricted Unit would cause
the then current mix of Restricted Units to no longer be comparable to the original mix of
Restricted Units described in Section 2 above and as shown on Exhibit_C).
H. CBH Rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a PCE occupying a Restricted Unit shall not be
required to pay as a contribution towards rent more than (x) one-twelfth of thirty-five percent
(35%) of the greater of (i) the PCE's Household Income as recertified annually and (ii) thirty
percent (30%) of the Bedroom Adjusted AMI, minus (y) if applicable, an allowance established
by the Holders for any utilities and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the PCE.
I. Persons Certified Eligible. If at any time fewer than three (3) Units at the Property are
leased, rented or occupied by PCEs, then the Grantor shall immediately notify EOHHS of the
shortfall in PCEs at the Property (a "CBH Unit Shortfall"). At any time when there is a CBH
Unit Shortfall at the Property, the Grantor shall notify EOHHS of each vacancy of a Restricted
Unit at the Property, including the vacancy that gave rise to the CBH Unit Shortfall (a
"Vacancy Notice") and each such Unit shall be made available for leasing to a PCE until the
required number of Units occupied by PCEs is again obtained. Upon receipt of a Vacancy
Notice, EOHHS shall refer to the Grantor a PCE for whom the Unit is appropriate, taking into
account the number of bedrooms and the accessibility or adaptability of such Unit. Grantor
shall not refuse to accept a PCE as a tenant on the grounds that such PCE's income is
inadequate. If EOHHS does not refer a PCE within 60 days after receipt of a Vacancy Notice,
the Unit that was the subject of the Vacancy Notice may be re-rented by the Grantor to an
income-qualified Family who is not a PCE. If at any time either (x) EOHHS is no longer able
or willing to refer PCEs to the Property because of a change in CBH program needs with
respect to the Property, (y) EOHHS fails to refer a PCE to the Grantor in response to two
Vacancy Notices within a one-year period or (z) a CBH Unit Shortfall exists at the Property
for a one-year period, the Grantor will promptly notify CEDAC. In such event, the Grantor
and CEDAC will meet and consult in good faith with EOHHS to address such situation and, if
appropriate, to identify an appropriate eligible population acceptable to CEDAC for such
Units, consistent with the then applicable CBH Regulations and CBH Guidelines.
4. Rent Schedule. Except as is set forth in Sections 3.A., 3.B., 3.C., 3.F and 3.H., projected
initial monthly maximum rents including utilities for all Restricted Units shall be as set forth in
Exhibit B and Exhibit B-1. attached hereto. If permitted maximum rents and utility allowances as
,Massl ro�
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
reflected in the annual schedule of rents and utility allowances issued by DHCD increase prior to
initial occupancy of the Project, the initial monthly maximum rents and utility allowances shall be
as set forth in the latest schedule issued by DHCD. Notwithstanding the rent restrictions set forth
in Section 3 above, the maximum monthly rent permitted to be charged for a Restricted Unit at any
particular income level is not required to be lower than the maximum rent applicable at such income
level pursuant to Exhibit B and Ex,hii it B-1 or such higher initial maximum rent applicable at such
income level pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, regardless of changes in fair market
rents or in median income over time (subject only to the restrictions applicable in the event of any
federal or state subsidy, as set forth in Section 3 above). Rents for Restricted Units shall not be
increased above applicable maximums without all Holders' prior written approval of a specific
request by the Grantor for a rent increase. In particular, the Grantor shall participate in and abide
by the annual HOME Program rent approval process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rent increases
shall be subject to the provisions of outstanding leases and shall not be implemented without at
least thirty (30) days' prior written notice by the Grantor to all affected Residents and
notwithstanding any provision in a lease or occupancy agreement to the contrary, in the event of
any increase in the rent payable by such Residents in connection with an increase in the income of
such Residents, consistent with the terms hereof, the Residents shall have the right to terminate
their lease or occupancy agreement by written notice to the Grantor delivered within such thirty-
day period.
5. Resident Selection.
A. Nondiscrimination. The Grantor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religious creed,
color, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation (which shall not include persons whose
sexual orientation involves minor children as the sex object), gender identity, genetic
information, veteran status, membership in the armed forces, ancestry, national origin,
handicap, blindness, hearing impairment, or because a person possesses a trained guide dog
as a consequence of blindness, hearing impairment or other handicap of such person or any
other basis prohibited by law in the lease, use and occupancy of the Units or in connection
with the employment or application for employment of persons for the operation and
management of the Units. The Grantor shall not discriminate against, or refuse to lease,
rent or otherwise make available the Units to, a holder of a certificate or voucher under the
Federal Rental Certificate Program or the Federal Rental Voucher Program or a holder of a
comparable document evidencing participation in a HOME Program tenant-based assistance
program because of the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such certificate,
voucher or comparable HOME Program tenant-based assistance document.
B. Selection Policies. The Grantor shall adopt and submit to the Holders for approval resident
selection policies and criteria for the Restricted Units that:
(i) Are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for a Low Income Family or an
Extremely Low Income Family, as defined below and required herein;
(ii) Are reasonably related to eligibility of prospective tenants under the Programs and to
the prospective tenants' ability to perform the obligations of the Grantor's form lease;
and
Massy
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
(iii) Provide for (x) the selection of Residents from a written waiting list in the
chronological order of their application, insofar as practicable, and (y) the prompt
written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.
The Grantor shall also provide the Holders with an affirmative marketing plan acceptable to all
Holders. The affirmative marketing plan must comply with all applicable statutes, regulations and
executive orders, with all Holders' affirmative marketing requirements and with DHCD's directives
reflecting the agreement between DHCD and HUD in the case of NAACP, Boston Chapter v. Kemp.
The approved marketing plan and the approved resident selection policies and criteria shall be
adhered to in every respect and any changes thereto shall be subject to the prior written approval
of the Holders. The affirmative fair housing marketing plan shall require the Grantor to create a
listing for all Restricted Units with the Housing Navigator (www.housingnavigatorma.org), which
listing shall be updated and confirmed prior to holding a tenant-selection lottery for the Restricted
Units and shall thereafter be updated at least annually or more frequently if appropriate in DHCD's
opinion (e.g., in connection with the re-opening of any waiting list for Restricted Units). The
affirmative fair housing marketing plan shall also require the Grantor to notify the Housing Navigator
when waiting lists for Restricted Units open and close and whenever there is a Restricted Unit
available on a first come, first served basis. The Grantor shall list vacancies in Restricted Units in
the MassAccess Housing Registry at http://www.massaccesshousingregistry.org and on the Housing
Navigator at http://housingnavigatorma.org.
6. Lease Form. The Grantor shall not include in any lease for a Restricted Unit any of the
following provisions:
A. Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt or to a judgment in favor of the Grantor
in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease.
B. Agreement by the tenant that the Grantor may take, hold, or sell personal property of
household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the
parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning
disposition of personal property remaining in the Unit after the tenant has moved out of the
Unit. The Grantor may dispose of such personal property in accordance with state law.
C. Agreement by the tenant not to hold the Grantor or the Grantor's agents legally responsible
for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent.
D. Agreement of the tenant that the Grantor may institute a lawsuit without notice to the
tenant.
E. Agreement by the tenant that the Grantor may evict the tenant or household members
without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to present
a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.
F. Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury.
G. Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in
court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
H. Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins
in a court proceeding by the Grantor against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be
obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.
All leases for Restricted Units shall be consistent with the requirements set forth herein, shall be on
a form reasonably approved by the Holders, shall be for terms of not less than one (1) year (unless
a shorter term is specified by mutual agreement between the Resident and the Grantor, subject to
the Holders' program requirements) and shall require tenants to provide information required for
the Grantor to meet its reporting requirements hereunder. The Grantor may not terminate the
tenancy or refuse to renew the lease of an occupant of a Restricted Unit except (i) for serious or
repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease; (ii) for violations of applicable federal,
state or local law; (iii) for completion of the tenancy period for transitional housing; or (iv) for other
good cause. Any termination or refusal to renew must be preceded by not less than thirty (30)
days by the Grantor's service on the tenant of a written notice specifying the grounds for the action.
7. Transfer Restrictions. The Grantor shall not sell, transfer, convey, rent (except for leases
or occupancy agreements made in connection with the Permitted Uses that are substantially in the
form approved by the Holders), encumber as security for financing, or in any other way exchange
all or any portion of the Property nor shall the Grantor permit the sale, transfer or pledge of any
direct or indirect interests in the Grantor, without the express written permission of the Holders,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to any transfer to the
Sponsor or any entity wholly owned and controlled by the Sponsor pursuant to the Right of First
Refusal dated of even date herewith granted to the Sponsor by the Grantor, provided that at the
time of exercise of such Right of First Refusal (i) no Event of Default, or event or condition which
with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, is then
outstanding hereunder or under any of the Loans; (ii) the Sponsor or such other entity designated
as transferee is an eligible borrower under all applicable Statutes, Regulations and Guidelines as
then in effect; (iii) the Sponsor or such other entity is in good standing with all Holders and in each
Holder's reasonable discretion has sufficient financial capability and experience with affordable
housing similar to the Property to perform the obligations of the Grantor; (iv) the Sponsor or such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by and perform all of the terms and conditions hereof; (v)
such transfer is permitted by the holder of all loans secured by the Property and (vi) the Grantor
gives to all Holders no less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any such proposed transfer.
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a withdrawal by the investor member of Grantor shall be
deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Permitted Encumbrances are hereby approved by the Holders. Any sale, transfer or
other disposition (each, a "transfer") of all or any part of the Property shall further be subject to
the Purchase Options and the First Refusal Rights described below, and to such further terms and
conditions with respect thereto as may be set forth in the HIF Statute, the HIF Regulations, the HIF
Guidelines, the CBH Statute, the CBH Regulations, the CBH Guidelines, the HSF Statute, the HSF
Regulations, and the HSF Guidelines. Upon request by the Grantor, DHCD shall sign a certificate,
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to DHCD, stating whether, as of a specified date, any
Purchase Option or First Refusal Right in favor of DHCD remains in effect, or has been exercised,
terminated, waived or assigned, and otherwise conforming with the certification requirements
described below. No transfer of all or any part of the Property to any party other than DHCD or its
Mass Jc,'
AFFORDABLE HOUSIHC RESTRICTION
assignee shall be consummated unless and until (i) the period for the exercise of all Purchase
Options and/or First Refusal Rights, as applicable, shall have expired without DHCD's exercise of
rights thereunder or (ii) DHCD shall have unconditionally waived its rights thereunder in writing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the investor member interest of Grantor held by Stratford
Lighthouses Investors Limited Partnership (the "Investor") may be transferred to an entity in which
the Investor or an affiliate of the Investor is the general partner or managing member, provided
that the Holders receive notice of such transfer and (ii) the Grantor's investor member may remove
and replace the managing member of the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of the Grantor's
operating agreement upon the consent of the Holders, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. In connection with any transfer requiring the consent of the
Holders, the Grantor shall provide such information to the Holders as the Holders may reasonably
request, shall pay a fee to DHCD pursuant to DHCD's then-current fee schedule and shall pay all
legal fees incurred by the Holders in connection with such transfer request. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, during such time as the Project is
subject to the HOME Regulations: (i) any removal of the Grantor's managing member may only be for
cause; and (ii) any replacement of the Grantor's managing member shall be a community housing
development organization, as defined in the HOME Regulations (the "HOME CHDO Transfer
Restrictions"), and the Grantor's operating agreement shall include the HOME CHDO Transfer
Restrictions.
8. HIF/HSF Purchase Option.
A. After the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof, DHCD shall have the right to purchase the
Grantor's interest in the Property from the Grantor, at a price equal to the then-current
appraised value of the Property, less the total outstanding balance, at the time of such
purchase, of all principal, interest and any other charges payable under the HIF Loan and
HSF Loan, and any and all other outstanding obligations of the Grantor with respect thereto
(the "HIF/HSF Purchase Option"), by delivering written notice to the Grantor of its election
to exercise the Purchase Option by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days
after the expiration of the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof(the "HIF/HSF Option Exercise
Deadline"). If DHCD shall have failed to deliver such written notice of its election to exercise
the HIF/HSF Purchase Option to the Grantor by the HIF/HSF Option Exercise Deadline, DHCD
shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived the HIF/HSF Purchase Option, and the
HIF/HSF Purchase Option shall automatically terminate, and shall have no further force or
effect.
B. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under this HIF/HSF Purchase Option
to a qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the HIF Statute and HIF
Regulations and the HSF Statute and HSF Regulations, and effective as of any such
assignment, all rights and obligations of DHCD with respect to such HIF/HSF Purchase Option
shall automatically be deemed to apply to such assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in
this Section shall automatically be deemed to refer to such assignee (except to the extent
a provision explicitly provides otherwise). So long as the Grantor is not in default under the

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
C. Promptly upon request by DHCD at any time or from time to time, either before the HIF/HSF
Option Exercise Deadline or after DHCD's exercise of the HIF/HSF Purchase Option, the
Grantor shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review
at a mutually convenient time and location, any and all material owned by or readily
available to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party potential buyer would reasonably
request in connection with its due diligence for the acquisition of the Property, including, by
way of example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance policies, appraisals, studies,
reports, and other materials relating to the Property and/or any encumbrance(s) subject to
which the Property is to be conveyed, or otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate for
DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of the HIF/HSF Purchase Option.
D. The appraised value of the Property shall be determined at DHCD's request by the method
specified in the HIF Statute and HSF Statute (as may be more fully described in the HIF
Regulations and HSF Regulations) and in accordance with DHCD policies, and the costs of
the appraisers shall be shared equally by DHCD and the Grantor (unless the HIF Regulations
and HSF Regulations provide otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Restriction, the Grantor shall not be required to use its own funds to repay
any debt secured by the Property in the event the appraised value of the Property is less
than the aggregate of all permitted debt secured by the Property.
E. The closing for the sale of the Property to DHCD shall take place in accordance with
applicable provisions of the HIF Regulations or HSF Regulations, by or before the date that
is one hundred twenty (120) days after the HIF/HSF Option Exercise Deadline (i.e., on or
before the date that is two hundred forty (240) days after the fiftieth anniversary of the date
hereof), by the close of the business day, at the Registry of Deeds; provided, however, that
if DHCD reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the closing due to
delays of the Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material described above or
any other failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for the sale, the closing
date may be extended to a date reasonably determined by DHCD as necessary to redress
the delays caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in a written notice from DHCD
setting forth the reasons for such extension, delivered to the Grantor by or before the date
originally scheduled for the closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the date
of the closing by written instrument.
F. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the HIF/HSF Purchase Option shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the HIF Regulations or HSF Regulations
consistent with the HIF Statute and HSF Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for
recording fees, deed stamps and other charges shall be made, and any other issues
associated with the transfer shall be resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing
practice in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall
enter into a purchase and sale agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent
with the terms hereof and of the HIF Statute and HSF Statute; provided, however, that the
HIF/HSF Purchase Option shall be binding regardless of whether the parties execute a
purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary,
if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise the Purchase Option, DHCD determines,
M�ss�� c
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best interests of DHCD to effect the purchase,
DHCD may terminate the HIF/HSF Purchase Option at any time, upon written notice to the
Grantor recorded with the Registry of Deeds; provided, however, that such termination right
shall apply to DHCD only and not to any assignee.
G. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the HIF Statute, HSF
Statute and any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of
an assignee, in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that the
Property shall be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing
thereon, which housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than fifty (50) years.
9. CBH Purchase Option.
A. After the thirtieth anniversary of the date hereof, DHCD shall have the right to purchase the
Grantor's interest in the CBH Units from the Grantor, at a price equal to the then-current
appraised value of the CBH Units, less the total outstanding balance, at the time of such
purchase, of all principal, interest and any other charges payable under the CBH Loan, and
any and all other outstanding obligations of the Grantor with respect thereto (the "CBH
Purchase Option" and together with the HIF/HSF Purchase Option, the "Purchase Options"),
by delivering to the Grantor and recording with the Registry of Deeds written notice of its
election to exercise the CBH Purchase Option by or before the date that is one hundred
twenty (120) days after the expiration of the thirtieth anniversary of the date hereof (the
"CBH Option Exercise Deadline"). If DHCD shall have failed to deliver such written notice of
its election to exercise the CBH Purchase Option to the Grantor by the CBH Option Exercise
Deadline, DHCD shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived the CBH Purchase Option,
and the CBH Purchase Option shall automatically terminate, and shall have no further force
or effect.
B. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under this CBH Purchase Option
to a qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the CBH Statute and CBH
Regulations, and effective as of any such assignment, all rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such CBH Purchase Option shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to refer
to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise). So long
as the Grantor is not in default under the CBH Loan or hereunder, the Sponsor shall have
the right to match the best offer received by DHCD from a qualified developer to become
DHCD's assignee.
C. Promptly upon request by DHCD at any time or from time to time, either before the CBH
Option Exercise Deadline or after DHCD's exercise of the CBH Purchase Option, the Grantor
shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a
mutually convenient time and location, any and all material owned by or readily available
to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party potential buyer would reasonably request in
connection with its due diligence for the acquisition of the CBH Units, including, by way of
example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance policies, appraisals, studies, reports,
ra�a�sr
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
and other materials relating to the CBH Units and/or any encumbrance(s) subject to which
the CBH Units is to be conveyed, or otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate for DHCD
to review in connection with its exercise of the CBH Purchase Option.
D. The appraised value of the CBH Units shall be determined at DHCD's request by the method
specified in the CBH Statute (as may be more fully described in the CBH Regulations) and
in accordance with DHCD policies, and the costs of the appraisers shall be shared equally
by DHCD and the Grantor (unless the CBH Regulations provide otherwise). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Restriction, the Grantor shall not be required to
use its own funds to repay the pro rata share (based on proportion that the CBH Units
represent of the total Units at the Property) of any debt secured by the Property that is
attributable to the CBH Units in the event the appraised value of the CBH Units is less than
the pro rata share of all permitted debt secured by the Property attributable to the CBH
Units.
E. The closing for the sale of the CBH Units to DHCD shall take place in accordance with
applicable provisions of the CBH Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred
twenty (120) days after the CBH Option Exercise Deadline (i.e., on or before the date that
is two hundred forty (240) days after the thirtieth anniversary of the date hereof), by the
close of the business day, at the Registry of Deeds; provided, however, that if DHCD
reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the closing due to delays of the
Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material described above or any other
failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for the sale, the closing date may
be extended to a date reasonably determined by DHCD as necessary to redress the delays
caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in a written notice from DHCD setting forth
the reasons for such extension, delivered to the Grantor by or before the date originally
scheduled for the closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the date of the
closing by written instrument.
F. If the CBH Units are less than all of the Units at the Property, Grantor shall be responsible
for either subdividing the CBH Units from the balance of the Units or creating a condominium
at the Property in which the CBH Units will be a separate condominium unit. In the latter
case, the condominium documents governing such condominium shall be subject to the
approval of DHCD in its sole discretion.
G. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the CBH Purchase Option shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the CBH Regulations consistent with the
CBH Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for recording fees, deed stamps and other
charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall be resolved,
in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement
memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of the CBH
Statute; provided, however, that the CBH Purchase Option shall be binding regardless of
whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise the
CBH Purchase Option, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best
Massooc
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the CBH Purchase Option at
any time, upon written notice to the Grantor recorded with the Registry of Deeds; provided,
however, that such termination right shall apply to DHCD only and not to any assignee.
H. Concurrently with its acquisition of the CBH Units, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the CBH Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that the CBH Units shall
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing CBH Community-based Housing or
CBH Supportive Housing thereon, which housing shall remain affordable for a period of not
less than forty (40) years
10. HIF First Refusal Right.
A. If the Grantor intends at any time or from time to time prior to DHCD's exercise (or
unconditional waiver) of the HIF/HSF Purchase Option, as described in Section 8 above, to
transfer all or any part of its interest in the Property, and the Grantor receives a bona fide
offer for such transfer that the Grantor desires to accept (each, a "HIF Offer"), the Grantor
shall promptly deliver to DHCD written notice of the same (which shall not be deemed to
have been duly delivered to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. below), together
with a copy of such HIF Offer (the "HIF Offer Notice"). The Grantor shall provide DHCD with
such reasonable evidence as DHCD may require to satisfy DHCD as to the bona fide nature
of the HIF Offer. For purposes of this Section, a purchase by the Sponsor shall not be
considered a HIF Offer that triggers the HIF First Refusal Right (as defined below). A transfer
of a member interest in the Grantor shall be considered a HIF Offer that triggers the HIF First
Refusal Right if(x) such member interest is all or substantially all of the non-managing member
interests in the Grantor(except for transfers to affiliates of the member) and (y) such transfer
takes place within one year of a transfer of a managing member interest in the Grantor or of a
controlling interest in a managing member of the Grantor to the transferee of the member
interest or an affiliate of such transferee, provided that a removal of a managing member by a
member pursuant to a removal provision in the operating agreement of the Grantor and the
substitution of a new managing member that is an affiliate of such member shall not constitute
a transfer of a managing member interest for purposes of this clause.
B. DHCD shall have the right to purchase the Grantor's interest in the Property (or the
portion(s) thereof to which the HIF Offer relates), at the same price and on the same terms
set forth in such HIF Offer (the "HIF First Refusal Right"), by delivering to the Grantor and
recording with the Registry of Deeds written notice of its election to exercise such HIF First
Refusal Right, in accordance with the terms set forth below (the "HIF Exercise Notice"), by
or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after DHCD's receipt of such HIF
Offer Notice (such 120-day period, the "HIF First Refusal Period"). If DHCD does not intend
to exercise the HIF First Refusal Right, DHCD may, but shall have no obligation to, notify
the Grantor in writing that the HIF First Refusal Right will not be exercised (a "HIF Waiver
Notice").
Mass[io c
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
C. If, by the expiration of the HIF First Refusal Period with respect to a HIF Offer, DHCD shall
have failed to deliver to the Grantor a HIF Exercise Notice or a HIF Waiver Notice, DHCD
shall be deemed to have waived its HIF First Refusal Right with respect to such HIF Offer,
subject to any revived HIF First Refusal Right with respect to a modified HIF Offer, as
described below. However, DHCD shall retain a HIF First Refusal Right for subsequent HIF
Offers and the HIF/HSF Purchase Option as described above, notwithstanding any prior
actual or deemed waiver of the HIF First Refusal Right, or any intervening transfer of the
Property or any portion(s) thereof. The HIF First Refusal Right shall automatically expire
upon the waiver, expiration or exercise of the HIF/HSF Purchase Option.
D. If any of the terms of an HIF Offer shall be revised from the terms reflected in the HIF Offer
Notice in such a manner as to be materially more favorable to the buyer or if a closing
pursuant to the HIF Offer has not occurred on or before the date six months after the date
of the HIF Offer Notice but the Grantor desires to continue pursuing a sale pursuant to such
HIF Offer, the Grantor shall promptly deliver to DHCD a HIF Offer Notice with respect to
such revised or continued HIF Offer (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered
to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. above), and DHCD shall have a new HIF First
Refusal Right with respect to such modified or continued HIF Offer. The HIF First Refusal
Period for such new HIF First Refusal Right shall run for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days from the date of DHCD's receipt of the HIF Offer Notice with respect to such
revised or continued HIF Offer.
E. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under the HIF First Refusal Right
to a qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the HIF Statute and HIF
Regulations and, effective as of any such assignment, the rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such HIF First Refusal Right shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to refer
to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise). DHCD
shall provide written notice of any such assignment to the Grantor.
F. In accordance with the provisions of the HIF Statute:
(i) A HIF Offer Notice containing the required language as described above shall be deemed
to have been duly delivered if sent by regular and certified mail, return receipt requested
(or by such other method as may be authorized under the HIF Statute and HIF
Regulations), addressed to DHCD (or to any assignee of DHCD, if DHCD has previously
given the Grantor notice of such assignment, including the name and notice address of
such assignee, in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein) in the care of
the keeper of records for DHCD, which for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the
General or Chief Counsel of DHCD (or in care of the keeper of records for such assignee
of DHCD, as applicable).
(ii) The HIF Exercise Notice or HIF Waiver Notice shall be duly signed by a designated
representative of DHCD or of the assignee of DHCD, as the case may be, and (x) mailed
to the Grantor by certified mail (or such other method as may be authorized under the
HIF Statute) at the notice address set forth in the HIF Offer Notice and (y) recorded with
r�l
Mas0 ii
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
the Registry of Deeds by the expiration of the HIF First Refusal Period. If DHCD shall
have assigned the HIF First Refusal Right to a qualified developer prior to delivery of the
HIF Exercise Notice, the HIF Exercise Notice shall include the name and address of such
assignee and the terms and conditions of such assignment.
(iii) An affidavit acknowledged by a notary public that DHCD or its designated representative
has mailed a HIF Exercise Notice or a HIF Waiver Notice (the "HIF Affidavit") shall
conclusively establish the manner and time of the giving of such notice. Any HIF
Affidavit may be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by either party. Each HIF Affidavit
shall have attached to it a copy of the HIF Offer Notice to which it relates.
(iv) Each HIF Offer Notice, HIF Exercise Notice and HIF Waiver Notice shall contain the name
of the record owner of the Property and a description of the premises to be transferred,
in form adequate to identify the same. Each HIF Affidavit shall have attached to it a
copy of the HIF Offer Notice to which relates.
G. The closing for the sale of the Property (or, if applicable, the part thereof that is the subject
of the HIF Offer) to DHCD shall take place in accordance with applicable provisions of the
HIF Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of the HIF First Refusal Period (i.e., on or before the date that is two hundred
forty (240) days after DHCD's receipt of the relevant HIF Offer Notice), by the close of the
business day, at the Registry of Deeds (such date, the "HIF Closing Deadline"); provided,
however, that if DHCD reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the
closing, due to delays of the Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material
described below or any other failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for
the sale, the HIF Closing Deadline may be extended to a date reasonably determined by
DHCD as necessary to redress the delays caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in
a written notice from DHCD setting forth the reasons for such extension, delivered to the
Grantor and recorded with the Registry of Deeds, by or before the date originally scheduled
for the closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the HIF Closing Deadline, by
written instrument; provided, however, that in such event, the parties shall execute an
instrument reflecting such extension, which shall be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by
or before the date originally scheduled for the closing.
H. Concurrently with the delivery of the HIF Offer Notice, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with
a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and
location, all material relating to the Property (or the part thereof that is the subject of the
HIF Offer) and/or the proposed sale, transfer, or other disposition thereof that has been
made available to the party making the HIF Offer, and shall thereafter promptly make
available to DHCD any additional material made available to such party. Promptly upon any
request therefor by DHCD, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise
make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and location, any and all
other material owned by or readily available to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party
buyer would reasonably request in connection with its due diligence for an acquisition of
such Property, including, by way of example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance
policies, appraisals, studies, reports, or other materials relating to such Property and/or any
Masse
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
encumbrance(s) subject to which the Property is to be conveyed, or otherwise reasonably
necessary or appropriate for DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of the HIF First
Refusal Right.
I. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the HIF First Refusal Right shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the HIF Regulations or consistent with the
HIF Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for recording fees, deed excise stamp taxes
and other charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall be
resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale
agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of the
HIF Statute; provided, however, that the HIF First Refusal Right shall be binding regardless
of whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise the
HIF First Refusal Right, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best
interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the HIF First Refusal Right
at any time, upon written notice delivered to the Grantor and recorded with the Registry of
Deeds; provided, however, that such termination right shall apply to DHCD only, and not to
any assignee. If DHCD exercises such termination right or if either DHCD or its assignee
(other than the Sponsor) fails to perform hereunder on or before the HIF Closing Deadline
through no fault of the Grantor, then the HIF First Refusal Right shall lapse and be of no
further force or effect.
J. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the HIF Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that such Property shall
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing thereon, which
housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than forty (40) years.
11. CBH First Refusal Right.
A. If the Grantor intends at any time or from time to time prior to DHCD's exercise (or
unconditional waiver) of the CBH Purchase Option, as described above, to transfer all or
some of the CBH Units, including a sale of any part of its interest in the Property that includes
all or some of the CBH Units, and the Grantor receives a bona fide offer for such transfer
that the Grantor desires to accept (each, a "CBH Offer"), the Grantor shall promptly deliver
to DHCD written notice of the same (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered
to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. below), together with a copy of such CBH
Offer (the "CBH Offer Notice"). The Grantor shall provide DHCD with such reasonable
evidence as DHCD may require to satisfy DHCD as to the bona fide nature of the CBH Offer.
For purposes of this Section, a purchase by the Sponsor shall not be considered a CBH Offer
that triggers the CBH First Refusal Right (as defined below). A transfer of a member interest
in the Grantor shall be considered a CBH Offer that triggers the CBH First Refusal Right if (x)
such member interest is all or substantially all of the non-managing member interests in the
Grantor(except for transfers to affiliates of the member) and (y) such transfer takes place
e {

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
within one year of a transfer of a managing member interest in the Grantor or of a controlling
interest in a managing member of the Grantor to the transferee of the member interest or an
affiliate of such transferee, provided that a removal of a managing member by a member
pursuant to a removal provision in the operating agreement of the Grantor and the substitution
of a new managing member that is an affiliate of such member shall not constitute a transfer of
a managing member interest for purposes of this clause. If the CBH Offer also relates to a
portion or portions of the Property other than CBH Units, Grantor shall also indicate the
portion of the overall purchase price attributable to CBH Units, which shall equal a pro rata
portion of the overall purchase price based on the proportion that CBH Units represent of
the total Units being sold.
B. DHCD shall have the right to purchase the Grantor's interest in the CBH Units (or the
portion(s) thereof to which the CBH Offer relates), at the same price (or pro rata portion
thereof) and on the same terms set forth in such CBH Offer (the "CBH First Refusal Right"),
by delivering to the Grantor and recording with the Registry of Deeds written notice of its
election to exercise such CBH First Refusal Right, in accordance with the terms set forth
below (the "CBH Exercise Notice"), by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120)
days after DHCD's receipt of such CBH Offer Notice (such 120-day period, the "CBH First
Refusal Period"). If DHCD does not intend to exercise the CBH First Refusal Right, DHCD
may, but shall have no obligation to, notify the Grantor in writing that the CBH First Refusal
Right will not be exercised (a "CBH Waiver Notice").
C. If, by the expiration of the CBH First Refusal Period with respect to a CBH Offer, DHCD shall
have failed to deliver to the Grantor a CBH Exercise Notice or a CBH Waiver Notice, DHCD
shall be deemed to have waived its CBH First Refusal Right with respect to such CBH Offer,
subject to any revived CBH First Refusal Right with respect to a modified CBH Offer, as
described below. However, DHCD shall retain a CBH First Refusal Right for subsequent
Offers and the CBH Purchase Option as described above, notwithstanding any prior actual
or deemed waiver of the CBH First Refusal Right, or any intervening transfer of all or some
of the CBH Units. The CBH First Refusal Right shall automatically expire upon the waiver,
expiration or exercise of the CBH Purchase Option.
D. If any of the terms of a CBH Offer shall be revised from the terms reflected in the CBH Offer
Notice in such a manner as to be materially more favorable to the buyer or if a closing
pursuant to the CBH Offer has not occurred on or before the date six months after the date
of the CBH Offer Notice but the Grantor desires to continue pursuing a sale pursuant to such
CBH Offer, the Grantor shall promptly deliver to DHCD a CBH Offer Notice with respect to
such revised or continued CBH Offer (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered
to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. above), and DHCD shall have a new CBH First
Refusal Right with respect to such modified or continued CBH Offer. The CBH First Refusal
Period for such new CBH First Refusal Right shall run for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days from the date of DHCD's receipt of the CBH Offer Notice with respect to such
revised or continued CBH Offer.
E. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under the CBH First Refusal Right
to a qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the CBH Statute and CBH
Mas&Doc,

Regulations and, effective as of any such assignment, the rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such CBH First Refusal Right shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to refer
to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise). DHCD
shall provide written notice of any such assignment to the Grantor.
F. In accordance with the provisions of the CBH Statute:
(i) A CBH Offer Notice containing the required language as described above shall be deemed
to have been duly delivered if sent by regular and certified mail, return receipt requested
(or by such other method as may be authorized under the CBH Statute and CBH
Regulations), addressed to DHCD (or to any assignee of DHCD, if DHCD has previously
given the Grantor notice of such assignment, including the name and notice address of
such assignee, in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein) in the care of
the keeper of records for DHCD, which for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the
General or Chief Counsel of DHCD (or in care of the keeper of records for such assignee
of DHCD, as applicable).
(ii) The CBH Exercise Notice or CBH Waiver Notice shall be duly signed by a designated
representative of DHCD or of the assignee of DHCD, as the case may be, and (x) mailed
to the Grantor by certified mail (or such other method as may be authorized under the
CBH Statute) at the notice address set forth in the CBH Offer Notice and (y) recorded
with the Registry of Deeds by the expiration of the CBH First Refusal Period. If DHCD
shall have assigned the CBH First Refusal Right to a qualified developer prior to delivery
of the CBH Exercise Notice, the CBH Exercise Notice shall include the name and address
of such assignee and the terms and conditions of such assignment.
(iii) An affidavit acknowledged by a notary public that DHCD or its designated representative
has mailed a CBH Exercise Notice or a CBH Waiver Notice (the "CBH Affidavit") shall
conclusively establish the manner and time of the giving of such notice. Any CBH
Affidavit may be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by either party. Each CBH Affidavit
shall have attached to it a copy of the CBH Offer Notice to which it relates.
(iv) Each CBH Offer Notice, CBH Exercise Notice and CBH Waiver Notice shall contain the
name of the record owner of the Property and a description of the CBH Units to be
transferred, in form adequate to identify the same.
G. The closing for the sale of the CBH Units (or, if applicable, the CBH Units that are the subject
of the CBH Offer) to DHCD shall take place in accordance with applicable provisions of the
CBH Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of the CBH First Refusal Period (i.e., on or before the date that is two hundred
forty (240) days after DHCD's receipt of the relevant CBH Offer Notice), by the close of the
business day, at the Registry of Deeds (such date, the "CBH Closing Deadline"); provided,
however, that if DHCD reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the
closing, due to delays of the Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material
described below or any other failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for
the sale, the CBH Closing Deadline may be extended to a date reasonably determined by

instrument reflecting such extension, which shall be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by
or before the date originally scheduled for the closing.
H. Concurrently with the delivery of the CBH Offer Notice, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with
a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and
location, all material relating to the CBH Units (or the CBH Units that are the subject of the
CBH Offer) and/or the proposed sale, transfer, or other disposition thereof that has been
made available to the party making the CBH Offer, and shall thereafter promptly make
available to DHCD any additional material made available to such party. Promptly upon any
request therefor by DHCD, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise
make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and location, any and all
other material owned by or readily available to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party
buyer would reasonably request in connection with its due diligence for an acquisition of
such CBH Units, including, by way of example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance
policies, appraisals, studies, reports, or other materials relating to such CBH Units and/or
any encumbrance(s) subject to which the CBH Units are to be conveyed, or otherwise
reasonably necessary or appropriate for DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of

Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for recording fees, deed excise stamp taxes and
other charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall be
resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale
agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of the
CBH Statute; provided, however, that the CBH First Refusal Right shall be binding regardless
of whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise the
CBH First Refusal Right, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best
interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the CBH First Refusal Right
at any time, upon written notice delivered to the Grantor and recorded with the Registry of
Deeds; provided, however, that such termination right shall apply to DHCD only, and not to
any assignee. If DHCD exercises such termination right or if either DHCD or its assignee
(other than the Sponsor) fails to perform hereunder on or before the CBH Closing Deadline
through no fault of the Grantor, then the CBH First Refusal Right shall lapse and be of no
further force or effect.
J. If the CBH Units are less than all of the Units at the Property and if the CBH Offer also
relates to a portion or portions of the Property other than CBH Units, Grantor shall be
MassLcf.,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
responsible for either subdividing the relevant CBH Units from the balance of the Units or
creating a condominium at the Property in which the relevant CBH Units will be a separate
condominium unit. In the latter case, the condominium documents governing such
condominium shall be subject to the approval of DHCD in its sole discretion.
K. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the CBH Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that such Property shall
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing thereon, which
housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than forty (40) years.
12. HSF First Refusal Right.
A. If the Grantor intends at any time or from time to time, to transfer all or any part of its
interest in the Property, and the Grantor receives a bona fide offer for such transfer that
the Grantor desires to accept (each, an "HSF Offer"), the Grantor shall promptly deliver to
DHCD written notice of the same (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered
to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. below), together with a copy of such HSF
Offer (the "HSF Offer Notice"). The Grantor shall provide DHCD with such reasonable
evidence as DHCD may require to satisfy DHCD as to the bona fide nature of the HSF Offer.
For purposes of this Section, a purchase by the Sponsor shall not be considered an HSF
Offer that triggers the HSF First Refusal Right (as defined below). A transfer of a member
interest in the Grantor shall be considered an HSF Offer that triggers the HSF First Refusal Right
if (x) such member interest is all or substantially all of the non-managing member interests in
the Grantor (except for transfers to affiliates of the member) and (y) such transfer takes place
within one year of a transfer of a managing member interest in the Grantor or of a controlling
interest in a managing member of the Grantor to the transferee of the member interest or an
affiliate of such transferee, provided that a removal of a managing member by a member
pursuant to a removal provision in the operating agreement of the Grantor and the substitution
of a new managing member that is an affiliate of such member shall not constitute a transfer of
a managing member interest for purposes of this clause.
B. DHCD shall have the right to purchase the Grantor's interest in the Property (or the
portion(s) thereof to which the HSF Offer relates), at the same price and on the same terms
set forth in such HSF Offer (the "HSF First Refusal Right" and together with the HIF First
Refusal Right and the CBH First Refusal Right, the "First Refusal Rights"), by delivering to
the Grantor and recording with the Registry of Deeds written notice of its election to exercise
such HSF First Refusal Right, in accordance with the terms set forth below (the "HSF Exercise
Notice"), by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after DHCD's receipt
of such HSF Offer Notice (such 120-day period, the "HSF First Refusal Period"). If DHCD
does not intend to exercise the HSF First Refusal Right, DHCD may, but shall have no
obligation to, notify the Grantor in writing that the HSF First Refusal Right will not be
exercised (a "HSF Waiver Notice").
Massl
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
C. If, by the expiration of the HSF First Refusal Period with respect to an HSF Offer, DHCD shall
have failed to deliver to the Grantor an HSF Exercise Notice or an HSF Waiver Notice, DHCD
shall be deemed to have waived its HSF First Refusal Right with respect to such HSF Offer,
subject to any revived HSF First Refusal Right with respect to a modified HSF Offer, as
described below. However, DHCD shall retain an HSF First Refusal Right for subsequent
HSF Offers, notwithstanding any prior actual or deemed waiver of the HSF First Refusal
Right, or any intervening transfer of the Property or any portion(s) thereof.
D. If any of the terms of an HSF Offer shall be revised from the terms reflected in the HSF
Offer Notice in such a manner as to be materially more favorable to the buyer or if a closing
pursuant to the HSF Offer has not occurred on or before the date six months after the date
of the HSF Offer Notice but the Grantor desires to continue pursuing a sale pursuant to such
HSF Offer, the Grantor shall promptly deliver to DHCD an HSF Offer Notice with respect to
such revised or continued HSF Offer (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered
to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. above), and DHCD shall have a new HSF First
Refusal Right with respect to such modified or continued HSF Offer. The HSF First Refusal
Period for such new HSF First Refusal Right shall run for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days from the date of DHCD's receipt of the HSF Offer Notice with respect to such
revised or continued HSF Offer.
E. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under the HSF First Refusal Right
to a qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the HSF Statute and the HSF
Regulations and, effective as of any such assignment, the rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such HSF First Refusal Right shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to refer
to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise). DHCD
shall provide written notice of any such assignment to the Grantor.
F. In accordance with the provisions of the HSF Statute:
(i) An HSF Offer Notice containing the required language as described above shall be
deemed to have been duly delivered if sent by regular and certified mail, return receipt
requested (or by such other method as may be authorized under the HSF Statute and
the HSF Regulations), addressed to DHCD (or to any assignee of DHCD, if DHCD has
previously given the Grantor notice of such assignment, including the name and notice
address of such assignee, in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein) in
the care of the keeper of records for DHCD, which for purposes hereof shall be deemed
to be the General or Chief Counsel of DHCD (or in care of the keeper of records for such
assignee of DHCD, as applicable).
(ii) The HSF Exercise Notice or HSF Waiver Notice shall be duly signed by a designated
representative of DHCD or of the assignee of DHCD, as the case may be, and (x) mailed
to the Grantor by certified mail (or such other method as may be authorized under the
HSF Statute) at the notice address set forth in the HSF Offer Notice and (y) recorded
with the Registry of Deeds by the expiration of the HSF First Refusal Period. If DHCD
shall have assigned the HSF First Refusal Right to a qualified developer prior to delivery
Massn °
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
of the HSF Exercise Notice, the HSF Exercise Notice shall include the name and address
of such assignee and the terms and conditions of such assignment.
(iii) An affidavit acknowledged by a notary public that DHCD or its designated representative
has mailed an HSF Exercise Notice or an HSF Waiver Notice (the "HSF Affidavit") shall
conclusively establish the manner and time of the giving of such notice. Any HSF
Affidavit may be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by either party. Each HSF Affidavit
shall have attached to it a copy of the HSF Offer Notice to which it relates.
(iv) Each HSF Offer Notice, HSF Exercise Notice and HSF Waiver Notice shall contain the
name of the record owner of the Property and a description of the premises to be
transferred, in form adequate to identify the same. Each HSF Affidavit shall have
attached to it a copy of the HSF Offer Notice to which it relates.
G. The closing for the sale of the Property (or, if applicable, the part thereof that is the subject
of the HSF Offer) to DHCD shall take place in accordance with applicable provisions of the
HSF Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of the HSF First Refusal Period (i.e., on or before the date that is two hundred
forty (240) days after DHCD's receipt of the relevant HSF Offer Notice), by the close of the
business day, at the Registry of Deeds (such date, the "HSF Closing Deadline"); provided,
however, that if DHCD reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the
closing, due to delays of the Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material
described below or any other failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for
the sale, the HSF Closing Deadline may be extended to a date reasonably determined by
DHCD as necessary to redress the delays caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in
a written notice from DHCD setting forth the reasons for such extension, delivered to the
Grantor and recorded with the Registry of Deeds, by or before the date originally scheduled
for the closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the HSF Closing Deadline, by
written instrument; provided, however, that in such event, the parties shall execute an
instrument reflecting such extension, which shall be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by
or before the date originally scheduled for the closing.
H. Concurrently with the delivery of the HSF Offer Notice, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with
a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and
location, all material relating to the Property (or the part thereof that is the subject of the
HSF Offer) and/or the proposed sale, transfer, or other disposition thereof that has been
made available to the party making the HSF Offer, and shall thereafter promptly make
available to DHCD any additional material made available to such party. Promptly upon any
request therefor by DHCD, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise
make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and location, any and all
other material owned by or readily available to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party
buyer would reasonably request in connection with its due diligence for an acquisition of
such Property, including, by way of example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance
policies, appraisals, studies, reports, or other materials relating to such Property and/or any
encumbrance(s) subject to which the Property is to be conveyed, or otherwise reasonably
Ir7ass
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
necessary or appropriate for DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of the HSF First
Refusal Right.
I. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the HSF First Refusal Right shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the HSF Regulations consistent with the
HSF Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for recording fees, deed excise stamp taxes
and other charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall be
resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale
agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of the
HSF Statute; provided, however, that the HSF First Refusal Right shall be binding regardless
of whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise the
HSF First Refusal Right, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best
interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the HSF First Refusal Right
at any time, upon written notice delivered to the Grantor and recorded with the Registry of
Deeds; provided, however, that such termination right shall apply to DHCD only, and not to
any assignee. If DHCD exercises such termination right or if either DHCD or its assignee
(other than the Sponsor) fails to perform hereunder on or before the HSF Closing Deadline
through no fault of the Grantor, then the HSF First Refusal Right shall lapse and be of no
further force or effect.
1. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the HSF Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that such Property shall
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing thereon, which
housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than fifty (50) years.
13. Term of Restrictions; Covenants to Run with Land. The term of this Restriction shall be
perpetual. The "Option Term" shall be the period from the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof
through the HIF/HSF Option Exercise Deadline (as defined in Section 8 above) plus any additional
period necessary for the consummation of a purchase of the Property under any of the Purchase
Options and the First Refusal Rights described above, if applicable. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, this Restriction shall remain in full
force for the full term set forth herein including any extension, notwithstanding any prepayment of
the Loan. The restrictions contained herein shall run with the land, shall bind the successors and
assigns of the Grantor, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holders and their successors and assigns
as permitted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the end of the term of affordability for a
particular program, as set forth on Exhibit C, as it may have been extended, provided that all
obligations under the loan provided by such Program have been satisfied in full at that time, as
determined by the appropriate Holder, the Grantor may request that the Holders modify this
Restriction to eliminate the requirements imposed by or otherwise relating to such Program set
forth in this Restriction. The parties shall cooperate to prepare an appropriate amendment to this
Restriction, which amendment shall be duly recorded with the Registry of Deeds by the Grantor at
MassDoc
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
its cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Restriction shall not expire until the
recording in the Registry of Deeds of a written determination by the Secretary of EOHHS, that there
is no longer a need to maintain and use the Property as CBH Community-based Housing.
14. Subsequent Conveyances. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter
executed conveying the Property or portion thereof shall expressly provide that such conveyance is
subject to this Restriction, provided, however, that the covenants contained herein shall survive
and be effective regardless of whether such contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed
conveying the Property or portion thereof provides that such conveyance is subject to this
Restriction.
15. Income Verification. The Grantor represents, warrants and covenants that the
determination of whether a Family occupying a Restricted Unit meets the income requirements set
forth herein shall be made by the Grantor at the time of leasing of a Restricted Unit and thereafter
at least annually on the basis of the current income of such Family. In initially verifying a Family's
income, the Grantor shall examine the source documents evidencing annual income (e.g., wage
statements, interest statements, unemployment compensation statements) for the Family.
16. Reporting Requirements.
A. DHCD Web-Based Report, Annually, no later than September 30, Grantor shall submit to
DHCD, via the web-based annual reporting system located at
https://hedhsgdevannualreport.azurewebsites.net, or as otherwise instructed, an annual report
consisting of all data required by DHCD regulations at 760 CMR 61.00 promulgated pursuant to
Chapter 334 of the Acts of 2006 and all applicable DHCD directives, guidelines and forms as
may be amended from time to time. The Grantor shall collect said data for the express purpose
of reporting to DHCD, and the collection and reporting of said data shall comply with said
regulations, directives, guidelines and forms.
B. Annual Report. Annually, no later than September 30, Grantor shall submit to each Holder
an annual report consisting of the following:
(i) Annual adjusted income of each Family occupying a Restricted Unit.
(ii) Monthly gross rents (rents plus utility allowances, if applicable) for all Restricted Units,
such rents to be consistent with the schedule of maximum rents published annually by
DHCD. The rent schedule shall include the maximum rents applicable to Restricted Units
under Section 3 as well as the actual rents to be charged to over-income Families under
Section 3.
(iii)The Grantor's certification, made to the best knowledge and belief of the officer or
individual signing such certification, that:
(a) The Property continues to be used for the Permitted Uses.
(b) The Property continues to contain the required number of Low Income Units and
Extremely Low Income Units and to comply with the rent and other restrictions
applicable to such Restricted Units.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
(c) Grantor has not transferred, pledged or encumbered any interest in the Property,
except as specifically provided in, and in accordance and compliance with the terms
of, this Restriction.
(d) Grantor has caused the Property to be maintained in a manner consistent with the
Statutes, Regulations and Guidelines and no children under six years old reside in or
occupy the Property within the meaning of the Lead Paint Law or, if such children do
reside in or occupy the Property, that the Property is in compliance with the Lead
Paint Law.
(e) The information submitted pursuant to this Paragraph B is true and accurate.
C. Confidentiality. The Holders and the Grantor shall treat as confidential any of the foregoing
information relating to a specific Resident or Unit in compliance with all applicable state and
federal statutes and regulations, including M.G.L. c. 66A, and shall implement adequate systems
and procedures for maintaining the confidentiality of such information (but the Holders and the
Grantor may release general statistical and other information about the Property, so long as the
privacy rights and interests of the individual Residents are protected). The Holders and the
Grantor shall not use any of the foregoing information in Paragraph A.(iii) for any purpose
described in Section 603(d)(1) of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681a(d)(1))
or in any manner that would cause a Holder or Grantor to be considered a "consumer reporting
agency" under Section 603(f) of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681a(f)).
D. Additional Report Grantor shall prepare and submit to the Holders such additional reports
as any Holder may deem necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of this
Restriction and of the Programs.
E. Records. The Grantor shall maintain as part of its records (i) copies of all leases of
Restricted Units; (ii) all initial and annual income certifications by Residents of Restricted
Units and (iii) such additional records as any Holder may deem necessary to ensure
compliance with the requirements of this Restriction and of the Programs.
F. Additionai Reporting Reouirements. Additional reporting requirements are stipulated in
the Loan Agreement.
17. No Demolition. The Grantor shall not demolish any part of the Improvements or
substantially subtract from any real or personal property included within the Property except in
conjunction with renovation or rehabilitation of the Units or construction of a new project on the
Property, in either case subject to the prior written consent of all Holders, which consent may be
granted or withheld in a Holder's sole judgment.
18. Casualty. The Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that if the Property, or any part
thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed, the Grantor (subject to the approval of the lender(s)
providing financing) will use its best efforts to repair and restore the Units to substantially the same
condition as existed prior to the event causing such damage or destruction, and the Grantor
represents, warrants and agrees that the Units shall thereafter continue to operate in accordance
with the terms of this Restriction.
MassUrt s
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
19. Inspection. The Grantor hereby grants to each Holder and its duly authorized
representatives the right to enter the Property (a) at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner
for the purpose of inspecting the Property to determine compliance with this Restriction or any other
agreement between the Grantor and such Holder and (b) after thirty (30) days' prior written notice,
to take any reasonable and appropriate action under the circumstances to cure any violation of the
provisions of this Restriction. The notice referred to in clause (b) shall include a clear description
of the course and approximate cost of the proposed cure.
20. Enforcement. Upon violation by the Grantor of any of the provisions of this Restriction that
remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from any Holder (or for such
longer period not to exceed thirty (30) days as shall be reasonably required under the circumstances
to cure such violation, provided that the Grantor has commenced the cure of such violation within
the initial thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently pursuing the cure to completion), any
Holder, at its option (without liability to any party for failure to do so), may apply to any court,
state or federal, for specific performance of this Restriction or an injunction against any violation of
this Restriction, or for such other relief as may be appropriate, since the injury arising from the
default under any of the terms of this Restriction would be irreparable and the amount of damage
would be difficult to ascertain and may not be compensable by money alone. In each such default
notice, the Holder giving such notice shall specify the violation in question and the actions such
Holder believes are necessary and feasible to remedy such violation. No waiver by a Holder of any
breach of this Restriction shall be deemed a waiver of such breach by any other Holder or a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach. No act or omission by any Holder, other than a writing signed
by it waiving a breach by the Grantor in accordance with the next Section hereof, shall constitute a
waiver thereof. Any Holder shall be entitled to recover from the Grantor all of such Holder's
reasonable costs of an action for enforcement of this Restriction, including reasonable attorneys'
fees (including the time of any in-house counsel of a Holder charged at the same rate as comparable
outside attorneys). By its acceptance of this Restriction, no Holder undertakes any liability or
obligation relating to the condition of the Property. Without limiting any other rights or remedies
available to a Holder, any transfer of all or any other portion of the Property in violation of the
provisions hereof, in the absence of a certification from all Holders approving, or waiving any
restrictions with respect to, the same, all as set forth above, shall, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, be voidable by any Holder, by suit in equity to enforce the restrictions hereof.
21. Compliance Certification. Upon written request therefor, a Holder shall provide a
statement in form acceptable for recording certifying that the Grantor is in full compliance with the
provisions hereof as relate to that Holder, provided such Holder believes that the Grantor is so in
compliance. Upon receipt of a written request therefor, if a Holder shall believe that the Grantor is
not so in compliance, such Holder shall provide such a recordable certification specifying in detail
the section or sections hereof with which such Holder believes the Grantor not to be in compliance.
Any third party dealing with the Grantor may rely for all purposes on the truth and completeness of
such a certification of a Holder.
22. Senior Lender Foreclosure.
A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of this
Section, if the holder of record of a first mortgage granted to a state or national bank, state
Massl��.�
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
or federal savings and loan association, cooperative bank, mortgage company, trust
company, insurance company or other institutional or governmental lender shall acquire the
Property by reason of foreclosure or similar remedial action under the provisions of such
mortgage or upon conveyance of the Property in lieu of foreclosure, and provided that the
holder of such mortgage has given the Holders and the Secretary of EOHHS not less than
sixty (60) days' prior written notice of its intention to foreclose upon its mortgage or to
accept a conveyance of the Property in lieu of foreclosure to attempt to structure a workout
or other arrangement to avoid such foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, or similar
remedial action and the Secretary of EOHHS has failed within such sixty (60) days to locate
a purchaser for the Property who is capable of operating the Property for the Permitted Uses
subject to the provisions of this Restriction and who is reasonably acceptable to such
mortgage holder, then except as provided below, the rights and restrictions herein contained
shall not apply to such mortgage holder upon such acquisition of the Property or to any
purchaser of the Property from such mortgage holder, and such Property shall, subject to
Paragraph B. below, thereafter be free from all such rights and restrictions. The recording
in the Registry of Deeds of a sworn affidavit by the foreclosing mortgagee certifying as to
the failure of the Secretary of EOHHS to meet the foregoing deadline may be relied upon by
any third party, provided that the foreclosure deed is recorded not more than six (6) months
after the receipt by the Secretary of EOHHS of the foreclosure notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the rights and restrictions contained herein shall terminate only to the extent it
is financially infeasible to maintain the level of affordability required by this Restriction or
some lesser level of affordability (i.e., fewer Restricted Units or Restricted Units affordable
to Families with higher Household Incomes than those required by this Restriction).
"Financially infeasible" shall mean (i) with respect to the operation of the Property, that the
rent and other income from the Property is, or is reasonably projected to be, less than the
reasonable expenses required (or reasonably projected to be required) to maintain and
operate the Property and (ii) with respect to a sale of the Property, that the restrictions
would prevent (or be reasonably projected to prevent) the senior mortgage holder from
recovering all amounts due and owing with respect to its financing of the Property, including
without limitation, principal, interest, charges, costs, expenses, late fees and prepayment
premiums. Financial infeasibility shall be determined by the senior mortgage holder in its
sole discretion after consultation with the Holders. The senior mortgage holder shall notify
the Holders of the extent to which the rights and restrictions contained herein shall be
terminated and the Grantor agrees to execute any documents required to modify this
Restriction to conform to the senior mortgage holder's determination. The Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints any senior mortgage holder and each of the Holders, its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any
such documents on behalf of the Grantor should the Grantor fail or refuse to do so.
B. The rights and restrictions contained herein shall not lapse if the Property is acquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure by (i) the Grantor, (ii) any person with a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Grantor, (iii) any person related to a person
described in clause (ii) by blood, adoption or marriage, (iv) any person who is or at any time
was a business associate of a person described in clause (ii), and (v) any entity in which
M ass laou:>
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
any of the foregoing have a direct or indirect financial interest (each a "Related Party").
Furthermore, if the Property is subsequently acquired by a Related Party during the period
in which this Restriction would have remained in effect but for the provisions of this Section,
this Restriction shall be revived and shall apply to the Property as though it had never
lapsed.
C. In the event such mortgage holder conducts a foreclosure or other proceeding enforcing its
rights under such mortgage and the Property is sold for a price in excess of the sum of the
outstanding principal balances of all notes secured by mortgages of the Property plus all
future advances, accrued interest and all reasonable costs and expenses which the holders
thereof are entitled to recover pursuant to the terms of such mortgages, such excess shall
be paid to the Holders in consideration of the loss of the value and benefit of the rights and
restrictions herein contained and released by the Holders pursuant to this Section in
connection with such proceeding, provided that in the event that such excess shall be so
paid to the Holders by such mortgage holder, the Holders shall thereafter indemnify such
mortgage holder against loss or damage to such mortgage holder resulting from any claim
made by the mortgagor of such mortgage to the extent that such claim is based upon
payment of such excess by such mortgage holder to the Holders in accordance herewith,
provided that such mortgage holder shall give the prompt notice of any such claim and shall
not object to intervention by the Holders in any proceeding relating thereto. The Holders
shall share any such excess pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts of principal
and interest (if any) then outstanding on their portions of the Loan and the liability of a
Holder under the foregoing indemnity shall be limited to the amount of such excess received
by it. To the extent the Grantor possesses any interest in any amount which would otherwise
be payable to the Holders under this Paragraph, to the full extent permissible by law, the
Grantor hereby assigns its interest in such amount to said mortgage holder for payment to
the Holders.
D. This Restriction is senior to the MHP first mortgage loan, as the same may be amended, modified
or restated. MHP may terminate, modify or subordinate this Restriction in accordance with and
subject to the requirements set forth in Paragraphs A. through C. above. The Grantor agrees
to execute any documents required so to terminate, modify or subordinate this Restriction.
The Grantor understands and agrees that, in the event of foreclosure of the MHP first
mortgage loan and the exercise by MHP of the Power of Sale therein, the Property will be
sold subject to the restrictions imposed hereby, unless MHP exercises its rights to terminate,
modify or subordinate this Restriction prior to such sale. The Grantor hereby irrevocably
appoints MHP, or any agent designated by MHP, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such documents on
behalf of the Grantor should the Grantor fail or refuse to do so.
23. Notices. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in a different manner,
any notice, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire
to give hereunder shall be made in writing, and shall be deemed to have been properly given if hand
delivered, if sent by recognized overnight courier, receipt confirmed, or if mailed by United States
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties at their
htasf '
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
respective addresses first set forth above, or to such other address as the party to be served with notice
may have furnished in writing to the party seeking or desiring to serve notice as a place for the service
of notice. A notice sent by any of the foregoing methods shall be deemed given upon documented receipt
or refusal. The Holders shall use reasonable efforts to send courtesy copies of all notices sent to
the Grantor to the Grantor's investor at the address set forth below, provided that any failure to
send such a courtesy copy shall not affect the validity of any notice: Stratford Lighthouses Investors
Limited Partnership, Attn: Asset Management (The Lighthouses), 100 Corporate Place, Suite 404,
Peabody, MA 01960, with a copy to Holland & Knight LLP, 10 St. James Ave., 12th Floor, Boston, MA
02116, Attn: Jonathan I. Sirois, Esq.
24. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Restriction shall be binding
upon the Grantor and its successors and assigns, and shall burden the Property as specified herein.
This Restriction shall also be binding upon the Holders, and shall inure to the benefit of their
successors and assigns, provided that a Holder shall not voluntarily assign its rights hereunder
unless (a) such Holder believes in good faith that it is no longer reasonably capable of performing
its duties hereunder, and (b) such assignment shall be to a governmental body or an entity of a
similar character and purposes to such Holder which is reasonably capable of performing such duties
hereunder (except that DHCD's rights with respect to the Purchase Option and First Refusal Right
are assignable, as set forth herein).
25. Severability; Construction. All rights, powers and remedies provided herein may be
exercised only to the extent that exercise thereof does not violate any applicable law, and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Restriction invalid,
unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under applicable law. If any
provision or part hereof shall be affected by such holding, the validity of other provisions of this
Restriction and of the balance of any provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in part
only, shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Restriction shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable provision or part hereof had not been contained herein. In the event of
any actual or potential inconsistency between the terms of this Restriction and any of the Statutes
